2016 Mazak VCS-510C CNC Vertical Mill

The 2016 Mazak VCS-510C vertical machining centre slips through shop doors yet cuts like a heavyweight, offering 41.34-inch X, 20.87-inch Y and 20.08-inch Z travels that sprint at 1417 IPM over a 52-x-21-inch table rated for 1102 pounds. A 25-horsepower vector motor spins the BT-40 spindle to 12000 RPM, piping coolant straight through tools so drills dive without dwell, while Matrix conversational control blends G-code with Mazatrol cycles for true “draw-and-cut” workflow. 30 cutters ride a chain magazine; the next tool is in the spindle four seconds after the last chip falls. Heidenhain-class ballscrews hold 0.0002-inch repeatability, so pocket floors stay flat even during high-speed 3-D contouring.

Compared with Mazak’s VCN-510C (same travels but single-column base, 20 hp spindle and 24-tool carousel), the VCS-510C lifts power by twenty-five percent, adds six tools and stiffens the saddle with a heavier cast frame, yet both share identical table patterns—so existing vice grids and macros bolt straight on while cycle time drops.
